Tascam VL-S21 Monitor System

Tascam has introduced the VL-S21, a low-cost satellite speaker system that pairs two thin speakers with a powered subwoofer, to be used for home recording and multimedia.

The TASCAM VL-S21 includes a powered, ported subwoofer that provides 5W of power to each speaker and 15W to the subwoofer. The left and right speakers use NXT technology drivers, which employ a single driver to cover a wide frequency range. This approach improves on the traditional woofer and tweeter design by eliminating the phase cancellation that occurs when using multiple drivers and crossovers. These drivers are also remarkably thin, allowing these stylish speakers to be used at home or in the studio. Price: $129.
